Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal quarantine technology, specifically to an ear tag reading device for animal quarantine. Background Technology
[0002] Animal quarantine refers to the activities carried out by legally authorized agencies to inspect, classify, and handle animal and animal products for disease prevention, control, and eradication, to promote the development of the livestock industry, and to protect human health. Ear tags are identification tools worn on an animal's ear to uniquely identify an individual animal. They are a core component of modern livestock management, disease prevention and control, and traceability systems. Reading devices are specialized equipment designed based on ear tags to identify and read animal information. They can quickly obtain information such as individual identity and health data stored in the ear tag and are mainly divided into two types: visual recognition and radio frequency identification.
[0003] Currently, there are still some shortcomings in ear tag reading devices. For example, when the operator puts the reader close to the ear, the animal may be startled.
[0004] To overcome the problem of animals being easily startled, a Chinese patent (publication number: CN218568045U) discloses a smart reader based on electronic ear tags. Both the reader's outer shell and the display shell house a motherboard. The top of the display shell houses the display and a button module, while a Bluetooth receiver is installed inside. The Bluetooth receiver, display, and button module are connected to the motherboard via data cables. A chip information reader is installed at the bottom of the reader's outer shell, and a Bluetooth transmitter is installed inside. The Bluetooth transmitter, chip information reader, and motherboard are connected via data cables, and the Bluetooth transmitter and receiver are connected via Bluetooth signals. In use, the chip information reader can be removed from the display shell along with the reader's outer shell and moved freely, facilitating easy repositioning in confined spaces.
[0005] However, the ear tag reading devices currently in use still have certain shortcomings. The chip reader of the reading device mentioned in the above document can be removed for easy movement, but there are many types of reading devices, and some reading devices with long detection heads are not suitable for this. For farm environments, the reading device should be easy to carry, and there are many types of farm animals. When changing locations, the buttons on the device are easy to be accidentally pressed. Therefore, the existing structure needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem of inconvenient carrying of the reading device: a folding mechanism is disclosed, comprising a handle 1, a device body 2 connected to the right side of the handle 1, and a sensor head 3 connected to the right side of the device body 2; an operation key is connected to the top of the device body 2; a rotating groove 101 is provided at the ends of the device body 2 and the sensor head 3 that are close to each other; a positioning groove 102 and a positioning groove 2 103 are respectively provided on the side of the rotating groove 101; a rotating block 104 is movably connected inside the rotating groove 101; a folding mechanism is provided at the ends of the device body 2 and the sensor head 3 to facilitate carrying the reading device; the folding mechanism includes a spring piece 105 fixed to the side of the rotating block 104; the spring piece 105 and the positioning groove 102 and the positioning groove 2 103 are all engaged; the two ends of the rotating block 104 are of different sizes, and the two rotating grooves 101 are also of different sizes; a locking block 106 is fixed at the bottom of the handle 1, and the locking block 106 is engaged with the sensor head 3.
[0028] When the reading device is carried, because the sensor head 3 is relatively long, it can be pressed down. When the sensor head 3 is pressed, it can press the rotating block 104 through the inner wall of the rotating groove 101. When the rotating block 104 is pressed, it can drive the spring piece 105 to squeeze the inner wall of the positioning groove 102. When the spring piece 105 is squeezed, it can deform through its own material. After deformation, the spring piece 105 can be squeezed out of the positioning groove 102. At this time, the rotating block 104 can rotate through the rotating groove 101. When the rotating block 104 rotates about 90 degrees, it can drive the spring piece 105 to rotate to the side of the positioning groove 2 103. The spring piece 105 can then reset through its own rubber material. When the spring piece 105 resets, it can be in contact with the positioning groove 2 103. The second slot 103 engages and positions the sensor head 3 after the rotating block 104 is positioned with the rotating slot 101 of the main body 2. When the sensor head 3 rotates, it can drive another set of rotating slots 101 to rotate. The other set of rotating slots 101 will rotate in the same way through the rotating block 104. When the sensor head 3 rotates to the bottom of the locking block 106, it can be squeezed. After the locking block 106 is squeezed, it can produce elastic deformation. The sensor head 3 can be squeezed into the inside of the locking block 106 for positioning. At this time, the sensor head 3 has rotated about ninety degrees. The rotating slot 101 of the sensor head 3 can drive the positioning slot 103 to engage and position with the spring piece 105. The sensor head 3 is then folded, thereby improving the carrying efficiency of the reading device.
[0029] Example 2, as follows Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The present invention provides the following technical solution: In order to solve the problem that the reading device is prone to accidental key touch, thereby affecting the accuracy of data, a protective mechanism is disclosed: The device body 2 is provided with a protective mechanism to prevent accidental touch of the reading device. The protective mechanism includes guide grooves 201 on both sides of the device body 2, a U-shaped block 202 connected to the upper surface of the device body 2, guide blocks 203 symmetrically fixed inside the U-shaped block 202, the guide blocks 203 and the guide grooves 201 are slidably connected, and a friction plate 204 is connected to the side of the U-shaped block 202 near the guide block 203, the friction plate 204 is in close contact with the side of the device body 2.
[0030] When the reading device moves a short distance on the farm, the U-shaped block 202 can be pushed. When the U-shaped block 202 is pushed, it can drive the guide block 203 and the friction plate 204 to move. When the friction plate 204 moves, it can rub and squeeze the side of the device body 2. After being squeezed, the friction plate 204 can change the friction force through deformation. After the friction plate 204 is deformed, the guide block 203 can slide through the guide groove 201. After the guide block 203 slides to a certain position, the U-shaped block 202 can move to the top of the operation key of the device body 2 for protection, preventing the complex farm environment and animals from accidentally touching the operation key of the reading device, improving the safety of the device and indirectly improving the accuracy and efficiency of the device's quarantine.
[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
